WILLIAMTHOMAS KENDRIOK, OF MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, FOR HIMSELF AND AS ADMINISTRATOR OF GEORGE W. DIXON, DECEASED.

PROCESS OF MAKING A DISINFEQTANT.

SPECIFICATION forming- ;part of Letters Patent No. 686,855, dated November 19, 1901. Application filed January 10, 1991- Serisl No. 42,820. (No Specimens.)

To (tZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM THOMAS KENDRIOK, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Montgomery, county of Montgomery, and GEORGE W. DIXON, deceased, late a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Auburn ,county of Lee,State of Alabama,have invented anew and useful Process of Making a Disinfectant, of which the following is a specification.

The objects of our invention are the prevention and cure of disease, the cleansing and healing of wounds in man, beast, and fowl, and for general antiseptic, disinfectant, and germicidal purposes.

Referring to the formula which forms a part of this specification, the remedy is manufactured from the following drugs and in the following manner: Ohlorid of lime, carbonate of potassa, boracic acid, permanganate of potassa. Add slowly, stirring briskly, ten (10) pounds chlorid of lime to twelve (12) gallons of Water. Let this mixture stand twelve hours and decant the clear liquid. Dissolve sixteen (16) pounds of carbonate of potassa in three (3) gallons of water by means of heat. Then mix thoroughly the solutions of chlorid of lime and carbonate of potassa. Let this stand until all precipitation ceases. Then draw ofi the supernatant clear fluid and add fifteen (15) grains of boracic acid and one-half grain of permanganate of potassa to the ounce of this fluid. Dissolve Well andv allow to settle thoroughly. When all precipitation ceases, draw ofi and bottle for use. This makes a mildborochloro-manganate of lime, soda, and potassa. This compound has a beautiful royalpurple color, of ohlorin odor, and a pungent and styptic taste.

We attach importance to our compound for the reason that we have so combined the leading antiseptics, disinfectants, germicides,

cleansers, and healers that they may be used with safety and benefit externally, internally,

of butter, &c., and that it may be used efiectually for the prevention of contagion and infection from all causes, and, finally, that the compound meets a universal need of mankind.

We claim The process of compounding a liquid chem- 6o ical composition for the purposes stated, comprising essentially chlorid of lime, carbonate potassa, boracic acid, permanganate of potassa, in substantially the proportions specifled, consisting in incorporating chlorid of lime in water, then permitting precipitation and decanting the supernatant fluid; then dissolving carbonate of potassa in water by means of heat, then mixing the solutions of chlorid of lime and carbonate of potassa and permitting the combined solution to stand until precipitation is complete; then removing the supernatant solution; then incorporating boracic acid and permanganate of potassa and permitting substantially complete precipitation, and then removing the supernatant from the residual fluid, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM THOMAS KENDRICK, Joint inventor and administrator of the estate of Geo. W. Dixon, deceased. Witnesses:

M. A. KENDRIOK, M. N. DIXON.
